Kingsman Church Fight Sene

The elements of sound in the Church Fight Scene are expertly used to convey a comedic and funny take on an extremely violent and harrowing scene, the loud chaotic mosh pit of sound, dialogue and non diegetic music couldn't be anymore different than Children Of Men's realistic haunting choice of music and sound.

Firstly The constant playing of upbeat high tempo adrenaline fueled rock music synergises with the films overall funny take on spy movies as a whole and does so by greatly exaggerating and gratifying violence by Increasing the sounds of combat, making punches sound like explosions, the cracking of chairs like disastrous earthquakes however dimming the sound of a hand grenade to that of a realistic gunshot absent of shellshock or ear ringing however the explosion is .

The Majority of the scene is comprised of music however starts off with a monotone beep that increases in speed and pitch almost warning of the impending carnage about to occur.

The ensuing music that plays throughout the scene is Lynyrd Skynyrd's FreeBird an upbeat song with a fast tempo and an elaborate guitar solo which sets the scene and goes perfectly with the pace of the scene however undermines the gratuitous violence and brutal sights that the film portrays and depicts throughout the manic scene.

The sound mix for the scene is reinforced by guttural and primal screaming fuelled by the sonic waves emitted from the Valentine Chip.

The chaotic and unhinged sound mix relays to the audience of the situation spiralling wildly out of control and the more complex the ensuing guitar solo gets, the more complex and busy the scene gets as within the space of minutes bodies, chairs, ornaments and weapons are scattered across the reddening floor.

As the scene progresses, the ongoing commentary/dialogue from Eggsy, Merlin and Gazelle summarise the better part of what the audience may be thinking as well as adding to character personality and exposition with Eggsy providing further comic relief or relating to the audience depending on the viewer’s sinister sense of humour or fellow shock to the scenes being shown wincing to stabbings and sitting in shock and awe.

The momentary break (given in the form of a hand grenade planted in an assailant's trousers pocket) gives the viewer a small chance to recollect and take in the surroundings and in breaking the noise dims the music and sound to give off the impression of shellshock, this in comparison to the shellshock depicted in Children Of Men it greatly differs from the stylish and overtly violent tones of Kingsman.
